A strong 6.5-magnitude earthquake has shaken southern Guatemala and El Salvador, seismologists say.
The US Geological Survey said the quake struck around three miles (6km) south of Pajapita, Guatemala, at a depth of 42 miles (68km).
The Environmental Observatory in San Salvador said the quake measured 6.3 on the Richter scale and was centred on the coast of Guatemala and Mexico.
The quake was felt strongly in Guatemala City, the capital, and caused blackouts in some areas, but authorities have not reported any immediate damages.
Guatemala's fire department issued a statement saying some poorly-built homes were destroyed in the town of Patzicia, located between the epicentre and the capital.
The Central American nation's natural disaster agency said that at least three uninhabited homes collapsed, and a highway was blocked by a landslide.
The tremor was also felt in neighbouring El Salvador, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the country.
